MONSTER

II

I woke up with a yawn, stretching my arms. I grunted, looking at the window on my ceiling. It was still daytime. I stood up with a groan, dropping the red bedsheets. We should have reached Vanya already..

I changed into my daily clothes, buckling my belt with my scabbard around my waist. It's weird...Meliodas usually wakes me up when I sleep in.

I opened the door and went downstairs. I was shocked to see no one, not even Hawk and gaped. "What the...?!" I yelled. I ran to the bar and found a small note under a jug.

'I let you sleep in, I thought you needed the rest. Don't even think I don't know about you not eating properly.'
I shivered, reading that part. Dangit. He found out again.
I continued reading the rest of the note.
'But we'll talk later about that. We went ahead to the village. If we don't get back by dawn, look for us, kay?
Have a nice sleep.
Meliodas :)'

"......"

My eyebrows twitched and I gritted my teeth.

"SERIOUSLY?!?! How could they leave me?!"

I stomped towards the door furious, just as Meliodas ran in with a little boy. My eyebrow twitched at him, as he sat down the kid on a table.
"Sheesh, that was nuts. Hey kid what was that for?" Meliodas asked the spiky haired boy, completely ignoring the fact that I was right in front of him.

My eyebrows twitched and I slapped the back of his hea. "OI! I'm right here ya doofus!"

"AaAh!" The kid yelped, as he saw me hit Meliodas. He wore a green shirt and brown pants with sandals.

Meliodas groaned. "Ow! What was that for?!" He exclaimed, rubbing the back of his head.

I crossed my arms and scoffed. "Hmph, you left me alone you idiot."
"I left you a note!"
"You should've woken me up!"
"I was letting you sleep in!"
"Who is this kid anyways?!"

We went back and forth until the kid stammered and raised his hand. "U-um you two are kids too, you shouldn't fight."

I looked at the kid and sighed. Again with this.. Meliodas and I sighed, crossing our arms. "We are not kids actually." Meliodas said.

The kid looked around the tavern from where he sat. "What's this place? A tavern?"

I sat down in front of the kid, crossing my legs. "Yep. Our tavern."
"It's called the Boar Hat." Meliodas added.
The kid looked at us and furrowed his brows. "I'm hungry."

Dang this kid is straight forward.

Meliodas turned his face away, arms crossed. "If you answer all my questions, I'll feed you."

The kid put his hands behind his head and smiled mischievously. "Food first."
As I said before, dang this kid is just direct.

Meliodas grunted in annoyance and went to the kitchen to whip up something edible but not delicious.

The kid turned to look at me as I sighed with furrowed brows. "So you are not a kid either?"

I heard some clanking in the kitchen and shook my head. "Nope. Both of us are waaay older than you could ever imagine." I told the kid.
He narrowed his eyes and furrowed his brows, crossing his arms. "No way!"
